"In September the Department asked all Regional Leads to ensure that cold weather arrangements are in place throughout the country.
"Cold Weather Initiatives operate across all local authorities to provide additional emergency beds for rough sleepers where needed and ensure that additional temporary beds can be brought into use across a range of existing services and facilities, for singles and couples as needed during periods of cold weather."
The public are encouraged to report rough sleeping and to download the DRHE’s Rough Sleeper app. Figures from 2023 show that around 120 people have been sleeping rough on Dublin streets through the winter months, with the capital having the highest number of homeless adults at nearly 6,800, almost two-thirds of them single.The latest report on homelessness in the Dublin Region is available on our website now: https://t.co/XNgSN1JyDk pic.twitter.com/b48NA7D0xz
